Database schema for mako
The database schema used by mako was designed to meet several demands:
- Simple querying of BIOM data
- Simple querying of network data
- Respect hierarchical structure of taxonomic tree
- Straightforward access of networks for meta-analyses
- Flexible inclusion of metadata
The complete schema, sufficient to import BIOM files and network files, therefore specifies both standard node types and node relationships (Figure 1).
